From: Mel Gorman Date: Tue, 31 Jul 2012 23:44:03 +0000 (-0700) Subject: mm: introduce __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to emergency reserves X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~3680^2~2280^2~50 X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b37f1dd0f543d9714f96c2f9b9f74f7bdfdfdf31;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git mm: introduce __GFP_MEMALLOC to allow access to emergency reserves __GFP_MEMALLOC will allow the allocation to disregard the watermarks, much like PF_MEMALLOC. It allows one to pass along the memalloc state in object related allocation flags as opposed to task related flags, such as sk->sk_allocation. This removes the need for ALLOC_PFMEMALLOC as callers using __GFP_MEMALLOC can get the ALLOC_NO_WATERMARK flag which is now enough to identify allocations related to page reclaim.
